Clarification
Sep. 7th, 2002 11:20 amI am not fond of commenting on my own journal entries after the fact, as I prefer that the work speak for itself. However, I'm fairly sure I was unclear with an aspect of the last entry that has been nagging at me:
I was making fun of myself.
That doesn't mean that I wasn't angry, but I deliberately played up the childishness of it so that even I would find it ridiculous and desist immediately. When you read the entry, you should picture a seven-year-old in patent-leather shoes, kicking things.
I'm sure the childishness came across. I'm not sure the deliberate nature did, partly because you have to know me damn well to pick up on certain aspects of the humor. I'm pretty sure Chad got it, but I imagine he's about it. A lot of it has to do with my relationship to money and/or television. As if I'd really move out on my family just because Stretch got online for a few minutes.
Not that that doesn't mean I'm not going to move, but there it is. Just FYI.
